I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2014
Interview
It was long and after 2 phone interviews was schedules for an in person one. And they totally messed up on that last part.
I was first contacted by a recruiter and informed them on the progress of my career and they said google would be certainly interested.
What followed up was 2 phone interviews which I passed with flying colors.
After clearing all the interviews in 2 months, here comes the team match. Where no one ever knows when they gonna get a team match call. Even if you get the TM call next comes the HC again no one knows why they reject.
